In the three years since VIERA 3DTV debuted, the 3D world has
grown and evolved. This is true not only for technical
improvements in 3D picture quality, but for the whole 3D
environment, including content and peripheral devices.
The age of personal, easy 3D is on its way.

Today, many movie theaters are showing 3D movies,
and more than 100 Blu-ray 3D™ titles are available
(as of 2011) with categories that include sports and
music. Powerful 3D games and TV stations with 3D
programming are increasing, expanding 3D content
all over the world. Using the 2D-3D Conversion
function, it's also easy to enjoy existing 2D content
and photo/video collections in 3D.

Delivering 3D Fun to Your Family

Active Shutter Progressive 3D Method

Polarized 3D Method

The display alternately shows images for the left and right eyes. The left and
right lenses of the eyewear open and close in sync with this display timing to
show separate images to the left and right eyes. By repeating this action at
high speed, the brain perceives 3D images. And because this method displays
FULL HD 3D images just as they are, both eyes receive 3D images in high,
full-HD quality.

A polarizing film on the display surface displays the left and right images for
each of the odd-numbered and even-numbered horizontal scanning lines.
When viewed through polarizing eyewear, different images are shown to the left
and right eyes, resulting in the perception of 3D images. This method reduces
the vertical resolution to one-half, but it is an easy way to view 3D images using
light, economical eyewear. Great for watching with a group of people.

Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images
in real-time. The image depth is analyzed from the compositional, colour and
brightness data of each scene, to convert 2D images into naturally beautiful 3D
images.
In addition to ordinary TV programs, this method can be used to convert a
variety of 2D images — such as web content, Blu-ray Disc™ media, and photos
and movies saved onto SD Memory Cards — into 3D images with a high level of
precision.

In order to enjoy the original image quality of a movie, you need to have a display
that portrays the images exactly as the movie's creators intended. VIERA has
cleared the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program. It reproduces
both 2D and 3D images with cinema-like quality. Enjoy beautiful images that are
optimal for movies.

pronounced than with 3D sources.

3D Plasma Technology
3D Images with Minimal Afterglow

Reducing the Source of Double Images

Fast Switching Phosphor

Unique Light-Emitting Process

Reformulating the phosphor materials has minimized afterglow and increased
luminous efficiency. This reduces double image and displays clear, detailed 3D
images.
*Only for the VT, GT, ST and UT Series

Fast Switching Phosphor

A unique light-emission technology reduces double images in dark areas. Conventional
light emission, which goes from dark-to-light, was changed to a light-to-dark sequence.
This turns maximum emission afterglow into minimum emission afterglow, and
dramatically reduces the afterglow duration. Also, by speeding up the timing of each
light emission and expanding the interval until the next frame's emission, we greatly
reduced the interference to the left and right frames, which causes double images.

Panasonic improved the IPS Panel's high-speed response.
By narrowing the gap between layer and using a smoothly flowing liquid crystal
material, it was possible to double the response speed compared with conventional
models. As a result, 3D images, which require both left-and right-eye images, are
rendered more clearly and vividly.

Newly developed APD technology has raised the scan speed to 1.4 ms.
This minimizes the overlapping of left and right images to achieve natural
3D images with fewer double images.

Environment-Friendly Panel

Years of Beautiful Images

Mercury and Lead Free

Long Panel Life

Panasonic is committed to making our products more friendly to the
environment. In line with this commitment, all VIERA plasma display panels are
free of both lead and mercury. This reduces the impact on the environment
years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired from use.

One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing
high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A
high-quality VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process
and rear panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the
brightness decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.
*This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to
reduce to half of its maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary
depending on the image content and the environment where the TV is used.
Image retention and malfunctions are not taken into account.

Low Power Consumption for LED LCD TVs

IPS Himeji Plant

New liquid crystal materials* are employed in the IPS panel, which features a
high aperture ratio for greater light transmission. The transmission efficiency is
also improved. Power consumption has been cut approximately 25%** by
combining this panel with an LED backlight that offers high brightness and
power-saving efficiency. This all results in a better picture with less energy
consumed.

Panasonic's IPS Himeji Plant, which started operation in 2010, is actively
pursuing ecology from every angle as a Green Factory. This begins by pursuing
zero emissions and the goal of recycling 100% of the factory wastewater,
dramatically reducing CO2 emissions by shortening production lead times and
other measures, and installing photovoltaic power generating panels to achieve
an environmentally friendly factory.

Breathtaking Realism
Many years of working with Hollywood film studios on image reproduction
technologies have enabled Panasonic to develop the know-how necessary to
faithfully reproduce movies with all their original impact on Blu-ray™ Discs. Now, we
have applied these advanced 2D technologies directly to 3D movie reproduction to
achieve truly beautiful images with even more life like realism, depth and texture.

True to Cinema Sound Quality
Panasonic Blu-ray Disc™ Home Theaters have been developed under the
concept of reproducing an ideal theater-like surround sound environment.
In addition to a surround sound effect vertically and horizontally, the 2012
Blu-ray Disc™ Home Theaters create an expansive surround experience
with impressive depth, creating a sound environment approaching that of
an actual movie theater.

3D surround feeling with additional depth

3D Cinema Surround
BTT790

BTT490

BTT190

Cinema Surround is a state-of-the-art Panasonic
technology that produces impressive theater-like
surround sound. 3D Cinema Surround in the 2012
models provides authentic surround sound through
a total of 30 real and virtual speakers. Sound is
perceived as coming from the correct direction
thanks to Panasonic’s proprietary direction
perception control technology made possible by
years of research. 3D Cinema Surround delivers
a surround sound environment that satisfies like
never before.

Based on the phenomenal MASH noise shaping technology
used for many years in Panasonic products, the Anti-Jitter Digital
Amplifier markedly reduces jitter and distortion that can affect audio
clarity, producing pure brilliant sound. The result is high quality
sound with a full surround effect that rivals that of a real home
theater.

PT-AE7000

Full HD 3D Home Cinema Projector

Bringing 3D Movie Theater
Experience into Your Home
Hollywood continues to produce and release 3D movies that give us
an entirely new level of dynamic realism. The PT-AE7000 Full HD 3D
Home Cinema Projector was developed according to the Panasonic
philosophy of providing images that mirror the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic
vision and intentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;right in your own home. The PT-AE7000 has also
been redesigned from the ground up to achieve higher basic 2D
performance, and packed with unique 3D features to deliver the level
of quality demanded by Hollywood professionals.

LCD Panels Driven at 480Hz and Original Overdrive Technology
for Clear 3D Image

Intelligent Lens Memory with
Auto Detection

The PT-AE7000 features 480Hz-driven LCD panels, which lengthen the
time that the shutter is open about 1.5 times the duration of a 240-Hz drive
system. Together with Panasonic’s original high-precision overdrive technology, this improves the brightness of the images viewed through 3D
Eyewear, while at the same time minimizing crosstalk, or double image
seen as a result of the left image entering the right eye
and vice versa.

Up to six settings can be stored in the Lens
Memory, including zoom and focus positions
for projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image
ratio, and wide cinema projection settings.
These memories can be recalled manually or
can be set for automatic switching.
The projector is able to detect 2.35:1 and 16:9
source and retrieve the stored setting automatically. This Lens Memory function lets you
easily enjoy images with different image ratios
on a wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive
movie theater-like experience.

2x Optical Power Zoom/Focus and Wide Lens Shift Range
A 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a lens shift function together make
it possible to project a 120-inch picture from as close as 3.6 meters (11
feet 10 inches) to the screen or as far as 7.2 meters (23 feet 7 inches)
away. In addition, the image can be shifted ±100% vertically, and ±26%
horizontally. This gives you outstanding setup flexibility. If you choose to
ceiling-mount the projector, you can zoom and focus by remote control.

Abundant Connection Terminals

Frame Creation 2 for Motion Blur Reduction in 3D/2D Viewing
A double-speed frame interpolation display for 2D viewing, and also in 3D
viewing, greatly improves the clarity of motion images, reproducing sharp
and clear images for fast moving scenes in sports and action movies. For
24p signal input, four frames are calculated and interpolated for each
existing frame, to enable 5x speed (120-Hz) display.

3D Picture Balance with Waveform Monitor
The projector is able to show the right and left image side by side to check
if the two sides have the same colours. The difference may occur due to
poor content quality. With the Waveform Monitor displayed, you can adjust
the contrast, brightness, colour and tint as desired, and up to three
adjustment settings can be stored in memory for instant recall.

• HDMI™ with x.v.Colour™ and Deep Colour
The PT-AE7000 has three HDMI input terminals for digital transmission
without image degradation. The HDMI input terminals also support Deep
Colour and the x.v.Colour colour space. Deep Colour provides 10-bit
(over 1.07 billion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) colour depths for smooth
gradation between colours, while x.v.Colour compliance reproduces
natural, lifelike images.*6
• Programmable 12V Trigger for Automated Theater Setup
Two 12V triggers are provided.*7 Since the input and output can be set
independently (menu selectable), they can link flexibly with powered
screens, room light and powered curtains. When combined with the Intelligent Lens Memory, they let you create a truly classy home theater.

Stunning Picture Quality with
Excellent Dynamic Range
Dynamic Iris Pro Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright Scenes
This intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of each
image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma
curve*3 accordingly to create the ideal
image. The adjustments are made
virtually frame by frame. This helps
the projector achieve a wide dynamic
range with swift smoothness for added
beauty in both dark and bright scenes.

Smooth Screen Technology
Creates Film-Like Texture
While many LCD projectors suffer
from a “chicken wire” effect,
Panasonic’s pursuit of the highest
possible image quality has successfully overcome this device limitation
through the incorporation of Smooth
Screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to
arrange pixels on a screen with no
gaps between them.

Bring the Action Home
The PT-AR100 lets friends and family enjoy Full-HD large-screen
entertainment—from movies and sports to video games. Panasonic’s
advanced technologies bring crisp images even in daytime brightness, and improve colour reproduction accuracy in movies,
to deliver images with a refined Hollywood tuning technology. Whether it is used for a house party filled with friends or for family
movie night, the PT-AR100 will keep you and your guests engaged in the story and action through its stunning image quality.

Large-screen Entertainment for the Group
2,800-lm Brightness from Newly Developed 280-W
Red-Rich Lamp

Light Harmonizer 3 Produces Quality Pictures in Various Lightings
Together with 2,800 lm of brightness, Panasonic’s Light Harmonizer 3
technology assists the versatile use of the projector by automatically
adjusting the picture quality of the image to match the living room or theater
room conditions. This is made possible by utilizing built-in ambient light and
colour sensors that adjust the white balance, gamma curve, and sharpness
settings to maintain bright, crisp pictures that match the viewing environment.

The PT-AR100 projector produces bright, sharp
images by employing a new, high-power 280-W
Red-Rich Lamp and optical unit that combine to
generate 2,800 lm of brightness for comfortable
viewing in various lighting conditions.

Superb Picture Quality
Dynamic Iris Pro Delivers High 50,000:1 Contrast Ratio for Deep Blacks
This intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power,
iris and gamma curve accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made virtually frame by frame. This achieves an
astounding contrast ratio of 50,000:1, providing a wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for added beauty in both dark and
bright scenes.

Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural Clarity to
Even the Finest Details
This digital image processing circuit brings greater clarity and sharpness to
details, by reproducing fine nuances that were lost due to image compression.
After a two dimensional analysis of the video signal’s frequency in each scene,
the new circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image portion based on the
extracted information. The resulting images have a more natural, lifelike expression than those of previous image-processing methods. The detection of superhigh-frequency image components also enables

Conventional sharpness control:
Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can
cause a halo or ring effect.

Waveform Monitor for Precise Calibration
When the output level of the source device fluctuates due to the performance of the device or its cable
connections, the original black and white levels of the image content cannot be reproduced. With the PT-AR100,
you can view the waveforms on the screen and adjust the settings either automatically or manually as you
prefer.

The PT-AR100 gives home consumers a
projector with the kind of waveform monitor
used in equipment for professionals.

Installation Flexibility and Ease of Uses
2x Optical Zoom Lens and Wide Lens Shift Range
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw range, and the image can be shifted ±65% vertically and ±26% horizontally. This outstanding
level of setup flexibility lets you enjoy large-screen viewing in different-sized rooms. Position it on a table in front of you, suspend it from
the ceiling, or place it on a bookshelf behind you.

The CQ-VW220 brings you colour reproduction so vivid, it leads
the industry in the in-vehicle display category. Such high image
quality is now more important than ever with the rising popularity
of in-car DVD entertainment and navigation systems. That’s why
Panasonic developed a new high-temperature-certified colour
filter that supports trouble-free operation even under the grueling
conditions of a hot car interior. Ordinarily, because brightness is
given priority over colour reproducibility, this type of display is able
to reproduce only about 50% of the NTSC colour space. However,
Panasonic’s technology delivers 72%, which is in the same league
as flat-panel LCD TV screens. This means richer colour images for
your pleasure when viewing DVD entertainment and navigation
system maps.

You enjoy a crisp and clear display of
small type and fine patterns, thanks to
high-definition display technology. The
key is a digital graphics processor, which
improves image resolution compared to
analogue models.

About the performance of Face Recognition function
Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression
and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to
registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image
varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the
camera may not distinguish the faces.

AVCHD standard. •AVCHD and AVCHD logos are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation and Sony Corporation. AVCHD is a highdefinition (HD) digital video recording / playback format jointly established by Panasonic Corporation and Sony Corporation. For more
